FRAGRANCE ENHANCER
A fragrance enhancer and candle assembly has a candle and a holder for housing the candle. A body is mounted to an upper surface of the holder. A mounting bracket for holding a fan assembly is mounted to the holder. The fan assembly includes a plurality of inverted blades, and a gap is formed between the body and the holder to enable air flow through the body.
This application claims priority from Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/757,906; filed on Jan. 29, 2013 which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSUREThis disclosure relates to candles. More particularly, it relates to an apparatus for increasing the airflow from a lighted candle for faster circulation of the fragrance emitted from the candle.
Existing candles are often formed and sold within glass jars. While the candles often emit strong or aromatic fragrances when lit, the dispersement of the fragrance may be inhibited by a lack of airflow or the location of the candle in the room.
Thus, there is a need for an apparatus which improves the airflow and dispersement of a fragrance emitted from a candle.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSUREThe disclosure relates to candles. More particularly, it relates to an apparatus for increasing the airflow from a lighted candle to increase circulation and dispersement of a fragrance emitted from the candle.
In accordance with one aspect of the disclosure, a fragrance enhancer for a candle has a body which is configured to be mounted on an upper surface of a candle holder; a mounting bracket positioned at an upper end of the body; a fan assembly rotatably mounted to the mounting bracket; and the fan assembly has a plurality of inverted blades which disperse fragrance from the candle.
In accordance with another aspect of the disclosure, a fragrance enhancer and candle assembly has a candle and a holder for housing a candle; a body mounted to an upper surface of the holder; a mounting bracket for holding a fan assembly; wherein the fan assembly has a plurality of inverted blades; and a gap is formed between the body and the holder to enable air flow through the body.
Another aspect of the disclosure is an apparatus which is removably attached to an upper portion of a candle jar.
Yet another aspect of the disclosure is an apparatus which fits onto a conventional 14.5 ounce candle jar.
Another aspect of the disclosure is a fragrance enhancer which is made of aluminum to minimize the enhancer becoming overheated.
Still another aspect of the disclosure is air inlet holes in the apparatus to allow air into the candle to maintain a lit flame.
Yet another aspect of the disclosure is air inlet holes with different ornamental configurations.
Still another aspect of the disclosure is an inverted fan blade for more efficient airflow.
Another aspect of the disclosure is a series of angled blades which rotate and dispense scent from the candle.
Other aspects of the disclosure will become apparent upon a reading and understanding of the following detailed description.
The disclosure relates to candles. More particularly, it relates to an apparatus for increasing the airflow from a lighted candle for faster circulation of the fragrance emitted from the candle.
